New Zealand 11 vs Zimbabwe playing- 2 Tests, New Zealand Tour of Zimbabwe 2025:
Opener: Devon Conway, will be young
The first Test against Zimbabwe, led by New Zealand Mitchell Santner, was capable of performing close performance, with a young side on a young side.
Most of the three departments of the Blackcap game were good for the game, preventing late batting downfall in the first innings, the team management is something that wants to correct the batsmen.

There are two other things about which former WTC champions will be worried; One is the fitness of his regular captain Tom Latham, who missed the first test due to injury.
New Zealand would like to achieve full fitness before the start of the second and final match of the Latham series.
The second issue that needs to be addressed to New Zealand is who will replace Nathan Smith, which is excluded from the series after an injury during the first match of the ongoing series by fast bowling all-rounder.
In addition, New Zealand is not expected to make any changes in the eleven of playing for the upcoming game and will open batting with the Davon Conway and Will Young pair.
The pair left the team for a good start in the series opener and will see the same in the second match to repeat the same.
Conway scored a half -century in New Zealand’s first innings and would like to take that form to finish the series at a high.
On the other hand, Young also scored 41 runs in the first innings and gave good support to his early partner, but would have itching to prolong his innings in the next outing.
Middle-order batsman and all-rounders: Tom Latham (C), Rachin Rabindra, Derryl Michelle, Tom Blundel (WK), Michael Bracewell, Mitchell St.
The opening pair will be followed by a middle order, which can see Tom Latham’s return, which will add a little more experience to a batting lineup, including Rachin Rabindra, Derail Mitchell and Tom Blondel’s choice.
Visitors will once again have a lot of batting options at their disposal with Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner batting in seven and eight.
Saying that, responsibility falls on the shoulders of Tom Latham, Rachin Ravindra, and Derryl Michelle to provide stability in the middle order.
Michelle, in particular, will wish to continue the form shown in the previous game with half a century in the first innings.
New Zealand’s batting order looks like a force with Saksham and Bracewell with Bracewell.
Bowler: Jacob Dafi, Matte Henry, William O’Rurke
If we talk about the kiwi bowling lineup for the first testing, it included Nathan Smith, Matt Henry and William O’Rurke, and Nathan Smith would have to undergo a change with Jacob Dfee.
On Onas Matte Henry, once again will be taken to take wickets with a new ball, who will be a senior bowler from the side.
Henry, who was the bowlers’ pickle for New Zealand in the first match, will be supported by William O’Rurke.
William O’Rurke also bowled well in the first game and will watch to do the same in the next match.
New Zealand’s Spin Bowling Department will be handled by Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell, both will look at the flow of runs from one end and pressurize the Zimbabwee batsmen.
